Four brass memorial plaques were installed in Berlin-Johannisthal to commemorate the Levi family, who fled Nazi Germany for what is now Israel between 1934 and 1935, as new figures show antisemitic offences in Germany have more than quadrupled in recent years.
The stolpersteine or "stumbling stones" — small brass plaques embedded in pavements at victims' last addresses — mark the former home of Frieda and Moritz Levi and their sons Siegbert and Chaim at Greifstraße 16. Chaim was the first to flee in 1934, with the rest of the family following a year later.
